On the way to the center of the city, Howard Coleman and Madeleine remained silent throughout the journey.
The bright and brilliant sunshine outside the car window bathed the interior, but it couldn't dispel the somber atmosphere inside.
The road conditions in the capital city at noon today were unusually good. As Howard drove through the city center, he barely hit a red light.
The car slowly stopped in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Howard turned off the engine and sat in the driver's seat, staring at a young couple who had just come out with their marriage certificate, happiness radiating from their faces as they walked hand in hand to a shady spot by the roadside. He couldn't help but reminisce about the time he and Madeleine went to get their marriage certificate.
